One draws a magic circle around oneself
To keep everything out that doesn't fit
One’s secret games
Each time life breaks through the circle,
The games become puny and ridiculous
So one draws a new circle
And builds new defenses
Ingmar Bergman
Through a Glass Darkly
I parted with Kierkegaard to find Descartes:
Cogito, ergo sum –
I think, therefore I am
All is in doubt outside the strictest empirical knowledge
Yet, somehow, truth remains bound to the subjective
And the troubled realm of Kierkegaard.
